WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will take a dip in the sea, get some proper rest and try much-missed food as “a free man,” his wife has revealed, a day after the Australian landed home after striking a remarkable plea deal with US prosecutors. The 52-year-old on Monday left the British prison from where he had been fighting against extradition to the United States for the past five years.
“I had to tell them gradually. So they were very, very excited.” Reluctant to step foot in the continental US, prosecutors from the Justice Department orchestrated for Assange’s plea deal to take place at a remote US federal court located in Saipan, the largest island and capital of the Northern Mariana Islands.
